Microsoft’s Copilot Pro subscription just got even better with the introduction of Copilot GPT Builder. That’s right—you can now create your own AI models without any coding know-how, like ChatGPT’s GPT Builder!
When Microsoft announced Copilot Pro earlier this year, the promise of creating custom GPTs was a highlight. Now, after a period of eager anticipation, the feature is finally here.
What is Copilot GPT Builder?
Microsoft Copilot Studio is a platform that allows users to create AI-powered copilots capable of handling various tasks. According to Microsoft, here are some common ways Copilot Studio copilots are utilized:
- COVID-19 info: Get updates on COVID-19 rates and rules.
- Sales help: Ask questions and get support when buying stuff.
- Store details: Find out store hours and locations.
- Employee stuff: Get info on health benefits, vacations, and more.
- General questions: Ask about company policies or other common things.
These copilots can answer common questions, address complex issues through conversations, and engage with customers and employees across different channels like websites, mobile apps, Facebook, Microsoft Teams, and more.
Michael Schechter, a Microsoft vice President, hinted at the rollout on social media. However, access to Copilot GPT Builder is being phased in slowly, which means not everyone will get it right away.
